That's what I believed when I was younger. However, after watching unions in action, they seem to make things even worse, especially for younger workers. I don't think the answer to outsized corporate power is to try and balance it with outsized union power.

What I'd like to see is simply more decentralization of power, something like the "trust busting" under Teddy Roosevelt. When any organization gets past a certain scale it seems to lose touch with basic values and decency. You see this with countries too. Small states like Singapore or Denmark don't often start needless wars or meddle in the affairs of others, the way superstates like the U.S., Russia or China do.

Why have one adversarial master who doesn’t represent your interests when you could have two of them!
